Applying a microgrid mindset to your site lets you control the narative

Reduce energy market exposure and increase site security

With some on-site energy storage and/or generation, there are significant benefits to operating your site as a microgrid.

  • Power outage protection. Grid power outage detection with entire site islanding within seconds. Ability to preemptively island in cases where a grid disturbance is detected in advance of the outage event.

  • Automatic site power management policies applied during microgrid islanding to mitigate resource limitations. E.g. load-shedding such as HVAC and EV charging.
  • Automatic grid recovery detection, site reconnection and event reporting.

Grid flexibility that works for your operation

Many of today’s grid flexibility solutions don’t work well for most commercial and industrial sites. There is often a conflict between site operations and flexibility revenue returns. With Vividgrd, we ensure revenue generation aligns with your site’s operational requirements. For example, exploiting monetisation opportunities according to learnt charateristics of when you require power.

Unlike other flexibility providers that tend to operate at the asset level, we use a whole systems approach.

Microgrid islanding

Islanding your site means actively disconnecting from the distribution grid when things go wrong. Grid disturbances or local outages are disruptive and expensive. We can orchestrate automatic disconnection from the grid (called islanding), where you run on stored/generated power. We provide active load management during islanding to ensure the stability of site power and energy management.

Our system continuously monitors the grid and reconnects your site when safe to do so.
